Bayern reach agreement with Walker, approach Man City for talks

Kyle Walker is getting closer and closer to his move to Bayern Munich. According to 'Sky Sports Germany', the defender has reached a verbal agreement with the Bundesliga champions for a two-year contract, with the option for a third.

The Bavarians now have to negotiate with his club, Manchester City, over the deal, notably the fee. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, they plan to offer €15 million plus add-ons to convince the Cityzens to part ways with the 33-year-old.

With a year left on his contract, the English international wants to leave Pep Guardiola's side, feeling unhappy about his lack of game time. His absence from the starting XI of the Champions League final was "hugely disappointing" for him, which has prompted his to search for an exit.

Given that he wil be a free agent in 2024 should he refuse to renew for City, it's in the club's interest to try and sell him this summer to at least make some money off his move.
